I hope to use this in my retail showroom windows. Will this screen adhere to the inside of the windows? If not, what method is used? Thanks!

This does not have an adhesive side for directly applying to windows - the most common method is to stretch it over some sort of frame and mount the whole assembly. Thanks!

Good morning. We use it for a similar situation, but did not try to adhere it to the glass. We hung the screen from grommets and had great success with that. The weight of the screen itself kept it smooth. Our area was enclosed and we did not have to worry about drafts or movement rippling the screen.

This answer is way overdue...if the window you install it on gets wet the film may not adhere properly. But given that I haven't tested it you never know it might stick. I is very attractive and definitely would mask the water marks.

The total width (including the frame, and when the screen is fully extended) is about 45 3/4 inches. Should work in your window!

There was an opaque sticker stuck over the display window. If you peel that off the display will be available. It comes off easily once you get it started.

I use the screen in an Andersen window - sides of screen fit in the window tracks, bottom of window rest on top of screen. It does NOT lock in; however, it does close up relatively well.

Yes, I am using my unit in a horizontal position - as an entertainment center and it works well / looks great. Of course, if I were you, I would go ahead and check out the dimensions and double check the space you have under the window. If the dimensions work there, I would imagine that it would look great on its side under the window.

Hi Stella, Mike here. The unit is made for traditional windows, which slide up and down. Technically, they have vertical slides, so putting it in such a window should be pretty straightforward. When mounted in such a window there are usually gaps to either side that the a/c comes equipped to cover, usually with slide-out panels. However, if you mean that the opening the window makes is vertical, in which case it actually slides horizontally, the installation could still work but might require some adaptations. If you want the window open as little as possible, I suppose you could put the unit in vertically; I'm not aware of anything inherent to the unit itself that would make it unsuitable for vertical mounting. My recollection aside, a careful read of the installation instructions is definitely called for. In a window that slides horizontally, and makes a vertical opening, you might have to provide some support for the unit on the outside because it wouldn't have the window coming down on the top to hold it in place. The friction from the window and frame might be sufficient, but I kinda doubt it. By "some support" I'm thinking of something like an exterior shelf attached to wall studs, or perhaps some large "L" shaped brackets by themselves. With a vertical opening you'll also need to plug the big hole above the unit. Heavy cardboard, fiberboard, or a really heavy duty plastic trash bag, plus some duct tape could do for that, as long as the unit is otherwise mounted securely. If you want to get fancier, and sturdier/more permanent to boot, a sheet of 1/4" exterior-rated plywood, trimmed with a self-adhesive foam gasket, and possibly held in place by some brackets screwed on to the panel, could work as well. I hope I've understood your question correctly. If not, I'd be glad to try again with some clarification from you about the configuration of the window.

Yes. I have modern double-pane windows with the screen integral to the window, and it's no problem. The fan mounts well to the inside (room side) of the frame. In fact, the window doesn't even go up quite far enough to clear the fan, and it's still okay, although in this case it is not easily removable. You have to mark screw holes with their template and screw it to the window frame... a bit of a pain. But it is a powerful and quiet fan.

This product is difficult to work with. It requires technique to squeeze out the air bubbles between the film and window after managing to get the sheet positioned on the glass to begin with. A cold window makes it more difficult to get it applied. Once on it will adhere to a "chilled window" but I do not know what happens if you get to really cold temps.

That's a good one. I thought about this too but it hasn't been enough a burden to do anything. I considered paint but that may end up looking bad. You could fasten a decorative curtain across the interior roof or even black plastic or dark window screen. All come in large rolls. Good luck and post what you did!

There are cross members that you could use to adhere some kind of screen to. I would stay away from screws as the rigidity of the plastic may cause the cross members to break off when drilling into them. I would recommend some sort of glue if that's the way you want to go. There are also inserts that have mesh already included that you can find around the good ole interweb.

I used this on regular glass doors and I would speculate that it would not adhere properly to etched glass, ie., you could get a lot of air pockets and bubbles and not be happy with the outcome vs. smooth glass where it achieves uniform adhesion.

Like across a window? They're all connected in 4 pieces or so. I would think it would stick to glass. maybe put a layer of modge-podge over it. But sticking to a general window I would worry about condensation getting into the glue. Worth a try though.

Just a suggestion, but instead of duct tape, try electrical, masking, or painter's tapes instead. They don't stick as well, but they should provide the light blocking feature you're looking for without leaving residue all over the display if you decide to take it off.

Hello! I always leave the screen in the window for my unit. I've never had any issues with the window screen melting or warping myself...the unit exhausts a lot of hot air but doesn't appear to be enough to affect the metal of the screen, and in fact I personally think it may be best to leave it in anyway in case bugs might fly in the hose. It also helps to have something extra to anchor the hose attachment in your window. Hope this helps!

Yes, but only on really flat surfaces, like flat plastic, acrylic, sheets of metal (sheets of anything, really), the back LCD screens... But it won'd adhere to fabric or anything like that. haven't tested on glass. The things I stick with it, they remain stuck, as long as they are flat. I feel the tape lost some stickiness after being exposed to high humidity (the kind of humidity you get when you see morning dew on plants), but I shouldn't have exposed the tape to that. Just keep it in a fresh, dry place, it will last.

My experience was indoor use. I used it to cover some gaps around an older window frame. This product appears to be nothing more than clear packing tap. I applied it in the fall and when I removed it in the spring, it took off most of the paint around the window frame. Not what I thought was going to happen.
